Initial D Wiki

Purple Shadow (パープルシャドウ, Pāpuru Shadō) is an Ibaraki based team, led by two legendary racers: Dr. Toshiya "God Arm" Joshima and Kozo "God Foot" Hoshino. They drive on the Mount Tsukuba "Fruits Line". Toshiya "God Arm" Joshima is known for using the steering wheel with one hand, while Kozo "God Foot" Hoshino is known for his acceleration control and his ability to drift the R34 with the ATTESA E-TS 4WD system, as well as shouting exclamations to keep his focus.

It's still unclear who the team leader is, with Dr. Joshima and Hoshino being the team's oldest members. The team has many other members, most of whom are unnamed. The team has existed for many years, as some of the older members who turned up to spectate the Project D battles have settled down and had children. Project D later have a second round of battles with Purple Shadow, going up against several younger members of the team, however these are not shown.

Trivia[]

  • The anime and manga have a different race order; in the manga Joshima battles with Takumi Fujiwara first, and then Hoshino races with Keisuke Takahashi, however in the anime the order is flipped.
  • They were the only team to not have their course record beaten by Project D.
  • They are also the only team to be not completely defeated by Project D, with no victory by changing positions.
